Can a bank take Social securty funds due to debt
My father is considering returning a motorhome to the bank that finances it due to the recent death of my mother and the total loss of her income, which afforded them this motorhome. He lives solely on his 800.00 a month Social security income and has NO other income. He cannot afford the 339.00 monthly payment to the bank. If he defaults on this loan can the bank seize his social security funds which are automatically deposited into his checking account each month? At his age he is not concerned about his credit as he does not plan on it coming into play with what short time he may have left to live. It is so sad that he is in this position as mothers sudden death has made him almost penniless. Thanks so social security he received a whopping 250.00 death benefit from her death and nothing else as they said he is not entitled to her social security because he is also drawing his which was slightly more than hers. Do I need to have him have a paper check mailed to him to protect his only income from being taken?
